Happy New Year: A Filler Post

I did / am doing my first Yuletide all wrong due to being at my parents' house and not paying sufficient attention, but I was still happy with the awesome story written for me by BooksAsFurniture ("Too Much Has Already Been Done" 1407 words, summary: Ilse has a swallow of whiskey to settle her stomach and we are suddenly and miraculously privy to ( Read more... )

I would love to say it was psychic powers, but you told me you were writing about a song, so I did what any friend of yours would do: ctrl-f "Tori Amos."

Nothing!

I started to leave a really long comment on your story, but didn't because I wasn't 100% sure it was you.

Thanks to illness and my family being my family, I had a lot of time on Christmas day to sit around reading yuletide fics. I'm really glad I did yuletide this year because instead of moping and lamenting the amount of money I spent on my ticket, I was able to relax with lovely, Teddy-centric fluff. In fact, all of the fandoms I like had good stories.

(About what I wrote, the less said, the better. I became extremely ill on the flight from narita to lax, and was unable to do a post-upload edit like I'd planned. There are missing details, and large white space where I deleted a sex scene. I also misspelled a character's name, but I fixed that one. Did I learn not to wait until the last minute? Probably not.)

You know me too well.

I was pleased with your Teddyfic. One of my abandoned Grand Yuletide Plans was to write a surprise Teddy story for you, but I'm glad I didn't because what you actually got was much better than anything I could have come up with.

. . . I didn't get sick, but I did go through about eight rounds of "call up story using unreliable bus wi-fi, attempt to edit, lose connection and all changes" before I gave up. It was a valuable lesson about Not Procrastinating, but one I'm not all that confident will stick. :( deep frown.
